Meet Nancy

After over 30 years as a well-respected Certified Addictions Counselor and Imago trained therapist in the Greater Baltimore area, Nancy’s practice has evolved into life coaching as a way to facilitate concrete change.

Nancy has developed her counseling skills as an individual and group therapist treating clients for family-of-origin, co-dependency and early recovery issues, and a wide variety of process addictions. Working for years at Caron Foundation’s renowned Breakthrough Program, she has trained with the International Coaching Federation and also with Patrick Carnes, becoming proficient in treating sex addiction.

Every experience with an individual, group or family setting has shown her that people can transform and change with willingness and support. As a life coach, she partners with her clients to create profound intrapersonal and interpersonal changes.

“The key to success in life is change. See the change, make the change. Live a transformed and free life!”

How it works

At times, it can be hard to hold yourself accountable to make change. Motivation does not come easily and is often short-lived. Finding consistency and long-term success is validating and liberating. At times this can be elusive.

A skilled life coach can assist you in achieving your dreams by creating a safe place where you can meet or face the challenges of the things that you want – and need – to change.

By addressing unmanageable thoughts and behaviors and removing other barriers that get in the way, change is possible.

As your life coach, Nancy will support you to find your own answers and the motivation that you need.

Autobiography In Five Short Chapters

By Portia Nelson

Chapter I

I walk down the street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I fall in.
I am lost…I am hopeless.
It isn’t my fault.
It takes forever to find a way out.

Chapter II

I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I pretend I don’t see it.
I fall in again.
I can’t believe I am in this same place.
But it isn’t my fault.
It still takes a long time to get out.

Chapter III

I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I see it there.
I still fall in…it’s a habit…but,
my eyes are open.
I know where I am.
It is my fault.
I get out immediately.

Chapter IV

I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I walk around it.

Chapter V

I walk down another street.
